    Wine Art

    October 14, 2009 - By 

    I found these bowls at my folks house and asked if I could have them. I didn’t mention what I intended to do with them. I’m guessing I wouldn’t have been given the blessing to take them if mom had known I’d be breaking them.

    I put on a face shield and went to work over the outside garbage can with my tile nippers. Cutting up dishes is a messy job!

    I started with the Merlot bowl since we don’t like Merlot. It was my trial piece. I was able to figure out how the bowl would break without ruining the ones I intended to use.

    I knew I wanted to use this frame.
    It previously looked like this. It hung by the front door for several years but now my collage frame hangs in the spot. That meant it was time for a makeover.

    Wine 2.0

    January 16, 2009 - By 


    We found that we wanted to record more info about the wines we’ve tried than would fit in the previous wine label book. This book is 5.5 x 8.5 twice the size of the old one. This should give plenty of room for details.

    I still need to order bigger O-wires for the book but these will do until I get around to it. I also will make dividers to separate the kinds.

    It’s funny because even as I finish this one I am thinking of Wine 3.0 …I think the next one will be a 3-ring binder type. Maybe an old cookbook.

    Fixed it!!

    December 8, 2008 - By 


    I got some good advice on perspective and fixed my painting. (sorry the lighting is a little poor)

    I had originally put the table in sort of wonky because my previous painting that also had a table always bugged me a bit as well. It appeared to be too flat like it was trying to climb up the wall. Now I know what’s wrong with that one as well. Not sure if that one would be as easy to fix.
